i mean at my age i would have thought i would have a serious boyfriend or even be married by now. but i'm not just can't seem to find a good guy to date. and i would have thought that i would have a sucessful career but i don't. there are lots of things that i thought would be different then they are in my life when i thought about at the age of 15 or 16 where in life i would be when i hit 31. so what about you? why do you think our life never quite turns out how we plan it or dream it to?

A plan is good. When you find the plan not working is when you need to change it (right away). Too many see the plan not working and then just procrastinate.
Only you have the ability to change your life. If there is something you dont like then change it. It is not as hard as you think.
Best to write down the changes you need to make, attach them to the front of the fridge and tackle one item per month. If you stay looking back you can not see what is ahead.
You can have a really great life but you have to work at it. You are too young not to be married to a great guy start looking for the perfect one that matches you (a secret you will not find him in your home so get out).
Your career is not what you envisioned? Take a strong look at your skills, work on getting skills in something you love. Look in the paper and just see what is out there? Dont ever ever stay in a job for the long haul that you are not 100% happy to do. Change is always good.
Dont chase your dreams but instead chase your WANTS and NEEDs to be happy. Start now it is never too late.

In a perfect world, all our dreams and aspirations would come exactly like we planned it. Everybody would love us and nothing we did was wrong.
Well, the problem is, we have too many variables to deal with, and, there is always Murphy's law.
There are those who seem to have all the luck and nothing they seem to do is wrong.
Then the rest of us seem to take two steps forward and three backward. And it happens so much, it kind of becomes an expected result.
One reason life not always turns out the way we plan is possibly it may not be totally realistic, or no contingency plan was considered in the event it failed.

Because if life was exactly as we planned it it wouldnt be half as interesting! And yah maybee you dont have a serious boyfriend or the carrer you've always wanted but maybe something will change and everything that happened to you happened for a reason!! Good Luck!!

Honestly... I don't know. But I do have a theory...
*Maybe we want the wrong things.
*Maybe we keep repeating a self-defeating behaviour, like falling for people not suited to us.
*Maybe there is a cosmic lesson in this, and we need to repeat the lesson until we adopt a different perspective and finally understand.
* Maybe we don't really know what it is we cherish, and are just trying to follow someone else's formula and definition of success.
* Maybe we need to enjoy the ride as well as look out for the destination.
My friend Paul likes to say: "How do you make God laugh?... Make a plan."
* Maybe we need to sit back and say... whatever crosses my path, I will live it and enjoy it the best I can...
Best wishes...

well i guess thats jsut what makes life exciting.. you never know whats going to happen next.
If life was so predictable as we want it to be sometimes.. then it would be boring and you'd be wishing it was more UNpredictable ( the way it is now)
